The government is targeting a significant increasing developing countries income only rely on natural and human number of foreign tourists from 9 million (2014) to 20 million resources income.

This is very important especially for developing countries which generally cannot rely on country revenue from technological or industrial capabilities. Developing countries generally get their revenue from natural resources and human resources which are relatively cheaper than developed countries. The problem is this exploration of natural resources is limited and can be run out. This is different compared to the tourism. Tourism is one thing that cannot be exhausted as long as it is managed properly. Indonesia as a developing country also has a similar problem. The largest country revenues from oil and gas, coal, and coal and palm oil (CPO). Therefore, the Indonesian Fig. 1.

  • Christianity in Javanese Culture and Society
    CHAPTER FOURTEEN CHRISTIANITY IN JAVANESE CULTURE AND SOCIETY Java is by far the most populous of the islands of Indonesia. In 2000 out of a total population of nearly 206 million some 121 million lived in the very densely populated island of Java, some 830 per km2 (about 60 in Sumatra, 10 for Central and East Kalimantan, 140 in North Sulawesi and slightly over 4 for Papua).1 Th e numbers for Christians in Java in 2000 were; Statistics for Javanese Christians in 20002 Province Number of Percentage Total population Christians Jakarta 837,682 10.04% 8,361,079 West Java 703,604 1.9% 35,724,092 Banten 213,135 2.63% 8,098,277 Central Java 874,245 2.83% 31,223,259 Yogyakarta 245,062 7.85% 3,121,045 East Java 799,276 2.3% 34,765,998 Total 3,673,004 3.03% 121,293,750 Totalling 3,673,004, the Christians in Java represent a mere 20.5% of the sum of Indonesian Christians, while about 60% of the whole population live in Java. Th is fi gure alone is already a good indication of the minority position of Christianity in this most important island of the archipelago. In 1800 there were virtually no native Christians in Java. Besides the white Christians there was a much larger number of Eurasian baptised, but the real growth of these communities took place during the last two centuries. Still, the vast majority of Javanese are Muslim. Th e capital of Jakarta, a melting pot of the various ethnic identities of the country, showed in 2000 slightly higher than the national overall number of Christians or 8.92%.

Although he had long since started composing his text Deśawarṇana (literally, ‘The Depiction of Districts’), it was not until Tuesday, 30 September 1365, when Prapañca took his iron stylus and scratched the final words in palm leaves of what we now consider to be the most important historiographical text of medieval Java. Among the Balinese who preserved the text, Prapañca’s historiography is also known under its Javano-Sanskrit title Nāgarakṛtāgama which freely translates as ‘The Precept of Past Statecraft’. In his text, Prapañca includes a detailed description of the layout of the royal palace and the court town of Majapahit. Over the past six years, we have published several articles focussing on the archaeological discoveries of a number of authorities on Majapahit-Trowulan archaeology. During this time, we have been able to make a careful evaluation of the available sources assisted by appropriate onsite observations and GIS (Geographic 1 The authors would like to thank Dr.

  • The Goddess Durga in the East-Javanese Period
    H a r ia n i Sa n t i k o Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta The Goddess Durga in the East-Javanese Period Abstract This article assesses the changing perceptions of the goddess Durga in Java in the tenth to the fifteenth centuries C.E. From an early perception of her as a beneficent goddess, slayer of the demon Mahisa and protector of welfare and fertility, we see later portrayals of her with a frightful countenance and a predilection for graveyards. This change is traced through the mythology to poorly understood Tantric practices that deteriorated into black magic and the coercion of the goddess’s power for evil purposes, causing her image in Java to become tarnished and turning her into an evil demon. Keywords: Durga— Mahisas"ura— Tantrism— Javanese mythology— antiquities Asian Folklore Studies, Volume 56，1997: 209—226 RCHAEOLOGICAL REMAINS in the form of statues of the goddess {bhatarl) Durga, Durga the destroyer of Mahisas'ura, are quite numer­ ous in Java. The oldest of these statues is estimated to date from around the eighth century C.E.，while the most recent is from about the fifteenth century. On the basis of their characteristics and of the area where they were found, these Durga MahisasuramardinI statues can be divided into two large groups: those from the Central Javanese era, dating to between the eighth century and the beginning of the tenth century, and those of the East Javanese period, which date between the middle of the tenth century and the fifteenth century C.E. The Central Javanese period is very rich in archaeological remains (especially from early Hindu-Buddhist times), though relatively lacking in written data.

  • Archaeology for Whose Interpretation?: Finding Space for Alternative Archaeology in Indonesia
    Archaeology for Whose Interpretation?: Finding Space for Alternative Archaeology in Indonesia IRMAWATI MARWOTO-JOHAN o date, archeological research has been widely conducted in Indonesia. The results of this research, however, are not widely Tknown by the public because they are merely meant for archeologists. This leads the public to interpret archeological remains in their own neighborhoods. This public need of archeology could be promoted through archeological research being delivered to the public though exhibitions, museums or archeological sites. This article presents a discussion of Indonesian archeologists’ authority problems, the growths of Alternative Archeology as a ‘challenge’ to mainstream archeology and the implications Alternative Archeology has for the broader community. Public History Review Vol 19 (2012): 111–119 © UTSePress and the author Public History Review | Marwoto-Johan ARCHEOLOGY AS AN AUTHORITY HOLDER Paul Ashton and Paula Hamilton describe history as a house with several rooms in which people from various groups, like history community, museum experts, history film makers, and so on, live together. Some historians claim that they live in the main parts of the house and that they are even the owners of the house.1 This can be applied to archeology where academic archeologists consider the heritage arena as belonging to them where their interpretations dominate. It is generally believed that archeologists have the greatest authority to determine what constitutes heritage. Indeed, some believe that it is only archeologists who have the only authority to interpret archeological heritage. Is it wise to wait for an archeologist to interpret when a temple is found to get the best interpretation? After the Borobudur Temple was found, for example, its heritage value was just decided by archeologists.
